I used the stock FS-DE ECU & Loom as I didnt want to bugger round with wiring, and so it was still legal (seeing the ZE is only OBDI compliant)

Sorry for the question out from left field but where did you get your carbon fiber intake "duct/funnel"? (for lack of a better word)

Its an AutoExe SRI, and they cost a small fortune ($963 new :O), luckily I found mine on yahoo japan for a little less than a Injen CAI including shipping!

Which crank pulley are u using ?

 

[marcs_sp20]

The ze pulley, why?

 

[RicoP5]

The ze pulley, why?

Read a few times that when the swap was done people had to use the de one or car would not start or something ...

So u took the fs ze and out put it as it came in replacement to the de? Didn't have to swap out any parts at all?

 

[marcs_sp20]

We didnt swap any parts over, was simply plug and play as mentioned before

 

[RicoP5]

mhm thats good

 

[AusOrion]

Rico, you will have to swap pulleys as the US trigger pattern is different to the JDM and Aussie trigger patterns.

 

[RicoP5]

^ OH thats what i had read before somewhere.. good to know. thanks

anything else that would need to be swapped?

Righto, small update here (more like a trial on some things), first thing I bought some CF vinyl from ebay and decided to wrap some eyelids I purchased yonks ago:

Next thing was some head light/tail light tint, from a company called flyeyeskit, they come in a few different colours, and the best way to describe is it looks & feels like flyscreen material up close it looks a little odd, but from a distance it looks good, and doesnt hamper lighting unlike the Lamin-X or nightshades, but will see if I get pulled over for it Pretty cheap too, I bought 8x 30x45cm sheets for just under $40 shipped from the UK, so I have more then enough to do another car (maybe the 6's tails)

Comparison with stock:

All complete:

With the lights on:

The actual pattern of the material:

Small update, received all the RedlineGoods leather GB bits bar my steering wheel wrap, so installed the handbrake boot last night and the gear boot this afternoon. Really should have picked a lighter blue (as it looks like a dark grey near black) but oh well, still looks good

 

[AzteCypher]

Looking good. Let me know how easy the wrap goes on. I've thinking about getting one for mine.

 

[marcs_sp20]

So, this afternoon while down the coast, I ventured into cockroach territory and met up with Tim/maz sp20 and took these off his hands

Tried to fit them this evening, however I noticed there was no bolt for the top nut to screw into, so found some same size bolts and have them glued in place:

And noticed there are 4 light bulbs instead of the normal 3

Dodgy photo of them installed, Im impatient, and installed them at 11pm last night

Will take some better photos tonight if it doesnt rain
